• The Heart Institute - 15 minute walk

Q. Who else is in the house?

• Terry and I live here and we have two rooms that we rent to medical personnel. Those rooms are on the upper level and our bedroom is in the basement. Kitchen and bathroom are on the main floor.

Q. Is there a private bathroom?

• The bathroom on the main floor is primarily shared with the other bedroom. We have our own. 

Q. What gender is the person in the other room?

• We typically do not ask people what their gender is. Terry and Darlene are male and female so there will always be multiple genders in the home.

Q. Is there parking?

• There is only street parking and it is restricted to 2 hours between Monday to Friday 9-5. This means you would need to take your car to work. The Ottawa Hospital website outlines parking costs.

Q. Does the bedroom door lock?

• Unfortunately not. The doors are very old and modern interior door knobs that lock do not fit. We are planning to replace the doors in early 2026

Q. Are there any animals in the house?

• Nope! We do not have any pets. 

Our goal is to provide a relaxing yet studious environment for you. We are looking forward to hosting you!
